Story

Separate episodic (past interactions), semantic (stable facts and preferences), and procedural (learned rules) memory instead of one store. The key move is a consolidation pipeline that distills recurring facts from episodic logs into durable semantic memory, so reusable knowledge sharpens over time instead of bloating. Pair with parallel retrieval (similarity, keyword, entity) and provenance plus right-to-be-forgotten controls (source).
